Lorien, Uinen, and the Silver Tree

Telperion was the White Tree of Valinor and was also known by the name of Silpion, particularly in the early stages of Tolkien’s works. Tolkien’s earlier writings provide connections between the White Tree and some of the Ainur. 

Irmo, more commonly known as Lorien after his dwelling place, was the master of dreams and visions and the brother of Namo/Mandos and Nienna. Their isn’t a lot of detail about Lorien in The Silmarilion, but in earlier works he has a strong connection to Telperion/Silpion. A youthful Ainu named Silmo was a servant of Lorien (the concept of the Maiar wasn’t quite developed yet). Silmo was in charge of keeping the tree Silpion (Telperion) watered, just like how Arien watered Laurelin. The dews of Silpion were collected into a cauldron called Silindrin which was located in the gardens of Lorien. Here, Irmo/Lorien would gaze into the cauldron and see many mysterious visions. Silpion, Silmo, and Silindrin all come from a root word associated with shining, silver light. 

Since the last flower of Telperion later became the Moon, Lorien’s connection to the tree as the Master of Dreams and Visions may be due to the Moon’s association with the occult, the supernatural, and of course sleep. 

Uinen has an interesting connection to Telperion as well. After the deaths of the two trees, Vana cut her golden hair short to weave for the sails of the ship of the Sun. Meanwhile, Uinen is described as weaving the sails of the ship of the Moon out of foam and mists, with some glittering like fish scales and others shining with tiny points of star-like lights. 

Since Uinen and her husband were the Lord and Lady of the Seas and friends of the seashore-dwelling elves, Uinen’s association with the Moon may symbolize the Moon’s connection to the tides.

The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater

Irmo-Lorien, Master of Dreams and Visions

+

Silmo, Guardian of Silpion

Irmo was the Vala of dreams and visions, and was often called Lorien after the gardens in which he lived. Together with his brother Mandos he is one of the Feanturi, the Masters of Spirits, and their sister is Nienna. His wife is Este the Healer, who sleeps during the day on the isle of Lorellin in Lorien. In early stages of Tolkien's works, Irmo-Lorien was more closely associated with the silver tree, which at one point was known as Silpion. At this stage the dews of Silpion were collected in a cauldron called Silindrin, and Irmo would gaze into it and see strange and mystifying visions.

Silmo is a youthful Ainu in Tolkien's early works who was a servant of the Vala Irmo-Lorien. Silmo was in charge of watering the silver tree Silpion (with his name coming from the same rootword as Silpion and Silindrin) in the same way that Arien was in charge of watering Laurelin. When the moon was created Silmo wanted to be given the task of guiding it through the sky, but he was passed over in favor of Ilinsor, a servant of Varda who was associated with air, snow, and starlight. Both Silmo and Ilinsor are absent from the Silmarillion, with the Maia Tilion replacing them.

The text mentions that Lorien "loved the youthful Silmo" which is an interesting description of two male characters considering that Tolkien was strongly influenced by his Catholic faith. In the Silmarillion it’s mentioned that many Maiar served Lorien and his wife Este in their gardens, but while Melian served both Vana and Este, no Maia specifically associated with Lorien is named. Olorin (later Gandalf/Mithrandir) is mentioned as visiting the gardens of Lorien frequently and his name comes from a rootword for “dream” so there was likely a connection.
